Does having extra time mean that you have 131.25 min instead of 105 minutes for both paper 1 and 2?

Here's paper 1)

Paper 1)
Q1) 4 marks - 5/6 min
Finding facts from the text about something/ someone

Q2) 8 marks + reading and highlighting 12min

Q3) 8 marks 12 min

Q4) 20 marks - 25/30min

Q5) 40 marks (creative writing - writing a story using either a picture or a prompt) 50 min

Reading and highlighting the sources - 15 min

+ 5 minutes extra in case something goes wrong or you need to read over/ redo parts of your answers

Id recommend starting by reading the sources, then doing question 5. After you've done question 5 then start with questions 1 - 4. I found that reading the sources first gave me ideas for the creative writing bit

Paper 2)
Q1) 4 marks - 5/6min
shading boxes but can have tricks so you might need to spend extra time checking

Q2) 8 marks - Looking at both sources. 11 min

Q3) 12 marks 18min

Q4) 16 marks 25 min

Q5) 40 marks (writing to persuade) 50min

Reading and highlighting the sources - 15min

This should leave you with 5 minutes extra so you can use it for checking and stuff. Again, like paper 1 I recommend doing question 5 first and then questions 1 - 4
